Q&A: What is the Evidence for Specifying a Time Period for the Election of the Khaleefah?

Assalamu alaikum waRahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu. Yaa sheikh, I would like to ask you a question about the 3-day deadline of nasb ul-Khaleefah after the retirement of the previous Imam. It is stated in the Ajhizah book that this time-span is based on Umar's (radhiyallahu anhu) order to kill any among the six Sahabas if they reject the agreement of the others after 3 days. My question is that there are some people who state that this Riwayat taken from Tarikh Thabari is categorized as dha'if (weak). What do you say about it? Baarakallaahu fiik wa jazaaka khayran jazaa. Ahmad Nadhif Answer: The subject of Umar (ra) specifying to the Sahaabah the time period of three days to elect the Khalifah... This command took place amongst a group of the Sahaabah and 'Umar (ra) said to Suhaib in front of the group of Sahaabah: »صَلِّ بِالنَّاسِ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ، وَأَدْخِلْ عَلِيًّا وَعُثْمَانَ وَالزُّبَيْرَ وَسَعْدًا وَعَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَوْفٍ وَطَلْحَةَ إِنْ قَدِمَ...

We want to engage in discussions in a variety of subject areas related to the Hukm Shar'i, Islamic thought, and administrative matters besides others. Muafa Abu Haura Answer: Wa Alaikumu as-Salaam Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Baarakatuhu , We welcome any objective discussion based upon what is found in our books in terms of concepts and rules (Ahkam) whilst not discussing that which has been said in allegations in other books. Meaning that we accept for it to be said: 'So and so was mentioned in this book...' and then afterwards you may say what you like in terms of questioning or criticism in relation to it. We will t

Allah (swt) states in His Kitaab Al-Kareem: وَإِذْ أَخَذْنَا مِيثَاقَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ لَا تَعْبُدُونَ إِلَّا اللَّهَ وَبِالْوَالِدَيْنِ إِحْسَانًا وَذِي الْقُرْبَىٰ وَالْيَتَامَىٰ وَالْمَسَاكِينِ وَقُولُوا لِلنَّاسِ حُسْنًا وَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَآتُوا الزَّكَاةَ ثُمَّ تَوَلَّيْتُمْ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا مِنْكُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ مُعْرِضُونَ وَإِذْ أَخَذْنَا مِيثَاقَكُمْ لَا تَسْفِكُونَ دِمَاءَكُمْ وَلَا تُخْرِجُونَ أَنْفُسَكُمْ مِنْ دِيَارِكُمْ ثُمَّ أَقْرَرْتُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ تَشْهَدُونَ ثُمَّ أَنْتُمْ هَٰؤُلَاءِ تَقْتُلُونَ أَنْفُسَكُمْ وَتُخْرِجُونَ فَرِيقًا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ دِيَارِهِمْ تَظَاهَرُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِالْإِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ وَإِنْ يَأْتُوكُمْ أُسَارَىٰ تُفَادُوهُمْ وَهُوَ مُحَرَّمٌ عَلَيْكُمْ إِخْرَاجُهُمْ أَفَتُؤْمِنُونَ بِبَعْضِ الْكِتَابِ وَتَكْفُرُونَ بِبَعْضٍ فَمَا جَزَاءُ مَنْ يَفْعَلُ ذَٰلِكَ مِنْكُمْ إِلَّا خِزْيٌ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَيَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يُرَدُّونَ إِلَىٰ أَشَدِّ الْعَذَابِ وَمَا اللَّهُ بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ أُولَٰئِكَ الَّذِين
